Eddie had a few days comin'
C majorC
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt
D MajorD
Out to the land of supply and demand
G+G D MajorD
Where you can get anything you want
G+G
He wasn't lookin' for true love
C majorC
No, he didn't believe in that stuff
D MajorD
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man
G+G
Who just needed a little good luck
C majorC
His shoes were a little worn
G+G 
E minorEm
His hair was a little thin
A minorAm 
C/BC/B
Just another old sailor
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Waitin' on his ship to come in
G+G
Lily was a two time loser
C majorC
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice
D MajorD
She acted real tough, said once ain't enough
G+G D MajorD
For me I learned my lesson twice
G+G
But deep in her heart lived a young girl
C majorC
Dreamin' a young girl's dream
D MajorD
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into
G+G
Over by the slot machines
C majorC
Her face was a little pale
G+G E minorEm
Her dress was a little thin
A minorAm C/BC/B
Oh but lookin' at her was like
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Watchin' his ship come in
G+G
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee
C majorC
With the quarters he meant to play
D MajorD
They went for a bite and they talked all night
G+G D MajorD
'Til they said what they needed to say
G+G
Then they found 'em an all night chapel
C majorC
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite
D MajorD
And somewhere tonight in the neon light
G+G
Two hearts can't be beat
C majorC
And he's singin' a little song
G+G E minorEm
She's grinnin' a little grin
A minorAm C/BC/B
And they're holdin' each other
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Watchin' their ship come in
C majorC
Her face was a little pale
G+G E minorEm
His hair was a little thin
A minorAm C/BC/B
But they're two young lovers
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Watchin' their ship come in
A minorAm C/BC/B
Just holdin' each other
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Watchin' their ship come in
